Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Amiga Stunt Car Racer remains the best racing game of all time for me. It even had linkup multiplayer (I think..)

Tetris-BSD

The London Game, from 1972.

I played the similar game Stunt Driver on PC a lot growing up. Had a tweaked copy where all the stats were turned way up on one car. Good choice to play as an old game

Galaxy 5000 (1991). Not the oldest in this thread by far, but I've never heard anyone talk about it and it's actually a really decent racing game for its time.

I finished R-Type III (1993) and played a little bit of Castlevania 2 (1987)

Probably one of the machines at a nearby arcade. Pin-bot is mid-80s and I play that one a lot. There's a couple from closer to the 50s as well.

I've got Pong on my phone and one of my kids loves it.

This year? I've lost, best I've got was a very brief demo of my setup with an Apple II game (and I already forgot what it was, I was just showing of that I had every game from an Exodus set since they added Apple II). But I'm not gonna count it.

Actual play? I'm on a GameCube fix right now cause of achievements. Y'all are the real mvps in 2024.

I was playing Bubble Bobble on an NES emulator, so… 1988

Mine is kind of cheating. I'm playing the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy I currently. I only have my tablet on me at the moment so I'm also doing a lot of emulation. SNES, N64, and GBA are my sweet spots

Trying to finish pokemon emerald on my game boy micro. I mostly play at family gatherings

Moon Patrol on the Atari 2600 (Emulated on my Steam Deck). I'm not giving away my age by posting this at all...
